a Fatal Accident.

Special to the Gazette.
TExARKANA, ARK, May "a shocking
accident occurred on Marion Spears
farm, eight miles west of here, on Satur-
day morning last. An old gentleman by
the name of Lindsey in the employ of Mr..
H. Spear as teamster, hitched up his team
on the morning named and started out to
do some hauling. The time for his re-
turn home having long expired, the men
on the farm became alarmed and started
out TO see what was the matter. After
proceeding about mile they came upon
the team and wagon in badly
dilapidated and bruised condition, and
little further on the dead body OF Mr.
Lindsey, stiff and cold, was discovered.
1t was plain that the team had run away,
and the old man had either fallen or
jumped out of the wagon and was killed
by the violence of the fall. He evidently
struck the ground in sitting posture, as
his spinal column was broken in two or
three places and driven together. The
deceased was aged about fifty years and
had no family

NEW YORK, May 9.-The Tfaaes says;
"Boston is boring for natural gas. Some
thing like an epidemic of natural gas has
broken out over the country. Boston's
millionaire spectators caught the fever
only few weeks ago, but she has had a
regiment of more or less scientific
prospectors at work ever since the Har-
ward scientists and practical men from
PittsDurg have all assured the capitalists
that the evidences are abundant IN favor
of finding gas in plenty"

ing that took place Sunday night, the first
in the history of the county. Ben Hart,
negro nineteen years old, was arrested
for attempted criminal assault, April 81,
on sixteen year-old white girl, in which
great brutality was displayed. The feel
ing against him ran so high that Judge
Shipp ordered him taken to Will
liamston for safe keeping. Time
and distance only served to
iniame the people and Saturday night an
engineer lying at Racy Mount, seventeen
miles from here, was compelled by sixty
armed and masked men to take an engine
and two coaches and convey the party to
Williamson. There some of the party
surrounded the sheriff's residence to
prevent any communication, while the
remainder broke into the jail, dragged
forth Hart who was brought back here,
and near the scene of his crime was
hanged to tree, -

COMMERCIAL RESUME,


Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May Railway Ibonds
to-day sold as follows: Fort Werth and
Denver City at 94g; Texas and Pacific
incomes at GA; st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas rs at 994, 2's at 500; Kansas and
Texas rs at Il2; Houston and Texas
Central rs at III, 2's at l07.
Governments steady.

Oil closed at e..
Wheat weak and active.
Cotton easy at points decline.
Coffee 80 TO 40 points higher.
Silver 945.
Sugar quiet.
Hide market dull and weak.
A little sensation was produced by
q sudden break of over s points
IN Fort Worth and Denver
City. The facts about the fall
are that the short interest on which the
stock was recently lifted up into the six
ties has been eliminated, and there was
consequently no further object to be
served in maintaining the prices. Some
of the former bulls were sellers this after
noon, and the decline was accelerated by
long stock coming out. Il. J. Nichols &
Co. were prominent in the selling move
ment.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Msy 9.-The stock market
to-day was dull and nearly featureless
owing to 8 variety of causes, including
the inexplicsble bank statement. Anxiety
still remains in regard to the effect of the
Interstate law, and the election of Stock
Exchange officers, which occurred to-day,
contributed to this effect. The fuctua-
tons were unusually narrow, even for
dull day. London was q moderate buyer
early in the day. The sensation of the
day was furnished by drop of some
thing over per cent. in Fort
Worth and Denver, only q small
portion of which was recovered toward
the close. The break was caused by a
settlement with the shorts, and the pool
in the stock is believed to be disbanded.
The opening was steady, the first prices
being either unchanged or light, or q frac-.
tioR different from Saturdays figuress
There was moderate business at the
opening, but the market soon became ex-i
tremely dull, with activity only in Read
ing and New England, and the only move
ment of Importance was weakness

WACO.
The Waterworks VeII-A Cripple Handed
Fracao.

Special 20 the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, May 9.-Mr. James E.
Eagan, superintendent for Inman Bros.
of New York, the new WsterwOrks men,
says he has notice to commence work at
once on the we'll which is to supply the
water. This well is located on the east
side of the Brszos river. At the last
meeting OF the City Council the $50, 900
bond Inmau Bros. were required TO give
was submitted TO the Council, but failed
to meet the approval of the Mayor. Mr..
Eagan says his company, however, will
give a bond that will be satisfactory to
all They will commence building the
new Waterworks at once.
A lively fracas was INDUCED in at ,
O'Clock this afternoon on South First
street between three white boys whose
names are j. G.. and J. NJ. Elkins, broth
ers, and jim Tyson, and three ColOred
men, whose names are Frank Bonapsrte,
Wash FIemings and I. S. Mitchell. Both
parties tell different stories about the
ARRAY, and ct this late hour the facts could
not be learned. Fr&1k Bonaparte is cut
about one inch deep under the right
arm, but the wound is not thought to
be dangerous. One of the white
boys fred two or three shots, and
one ball passed through 1. S. Mitchelrs
coat and vest and grazed his flesh on
the right side of his breast. One of
the white boys, J. NJ. Elkin, was slightly
cut on his hand. The Elkin brothers
were arrested and locked up in the Gala
bose, but jim Tyson skipped out. All
the persons involved in the fight claimed
to have been peace makers, and perhaps
the courts will bring out the facts.

Sumter District Conference.

The seventeenth Sumter District Con-
ference was held at Summerton, June
30-July s.
Summerton is delightful place, and a
more generous and hospitable place
could scarce be found anywhere.
The good people of the town and vi
cinity received the members of the Con-
ference nobly and entertained them
throughout most Hospitality.
The opening sermon was preached on
Wednesday night by Rev. T. E. Wanna
maker, from Matt. xix, %, and was a
sermon in every way suited to the occa-
sion.
Thursday, 9 a. M, Conference met,
Bishop Duncan in the Chair.
The opening address of Bishop Dun
can was full of the gospel and the spirit
of Christ.
The Bishop inquired minutely into the
work of the church, spiritually and f.
nancially, including missions, church
extension, Christian education and relig-
ious literature. The reports from the
charges were generally good. The pas
tors, one and all, were urged to work to a
high standard.
The Conference was addressed by Reys.
w. D. Kirkland, A. c. Smith, Geo. W..
walker and o. A. Darby, concerning
the interests they respectively represent.
The resolutions and reports common to
District Conferences were adopted.
sPEcIAL-DR. SHIP.
Resolved, That it is with surprise and
heartfelt sorrow that we learn of the
death of our beloved brother, Rev. A. M.
Shipp, DID,, of the S. C. Conference.
ReSolved, That we heartily sympathize
with the smitten and afflicted family, and
ask the Father Of all mercies to grant to
these bereaved ones the consultations OF
His grace in this sad hour.
CONCERNING UNLICENSED EvANGELIsTs.
WHEREAS, The tendency Of the unli-
censed evangelists is toward the dispar-
agement of the regular ordained ministry,
and therefore to the detriment Of the
church:
Resolved, That we request the pastors
of the Sumter District Conference to
invite into their pulpits no unlicensed
itinerant evangelist.
The Bishop shew ed the demoralizing
effect of the methods employed by some
travelling evangelists (so-called) and ad.
vised all not to take up unauthorized and
irresponsible men and employ them in
their pulpits.

church, love feast. IL a. M, preaching
